I might have to take them up on this. Six, this may be what you need too.

Oops, XP is not available, but Vista Ultimate is! (mod fix title please)

XP users are eligible though.

The current list of products to choose from are:

* Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate (32-bit and 64-bit DVD)
* Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007
* Microsoft Money Plus Premium
* Microsoft Student with Encarta Premium 2008
* Microsoft Streets and Trips 2008

Wow that's a pretty sweet deal. So is it just a survey you have to do? Or like....something you install and give regular feedback with?

[crainger]

US only. :(

[Tr1cK]

I think you install a feedback program that will give you a survey for 15 minutes once every 2 weeks for 3 months. You can skip the surveys if you are too busy. It monitors all the ins and out of Windows. I wouldn't use it if you run anything less than legal or (lee). I am thinking of putting it on my HTPC so I don't get nagged all the time on the main one.

already in for one, ill post back in 3 months if i actually receive it.

Thanks for the link tr1ck! A pretty painless survey if you ask me, hopefully I'll have a copy of Ultimate in about 3-4 months.

At first, I thought this was another spam thread lol.

Edit: Thanks for the heads up Tr1ck!

I'm gonna get my fiancee to take this survey later tonight and get another copy just for fun. :D

[LurkerLito]

I'd consider doing this to upgrade my Office 2000 (that I got from a similar survey a long time ago), but I just can't seem to get myself to want to install an app to monitor everything I do and report it back to MS. I guess I could put it on my laptop but that machine is usually running ubuntu not XP :)

[six_storm]

Looks like MS pulled the freebies! :D Everyone at [H] is bitching lol. My fiancee couldn't get to a PC in time to sign up so only one copy for me, that's if they follow through with their "promise".

[Eliminator]

US only. :(
yay :thumbdwn:

[RAY16]

Oh, that's so gay. I signed up after they stopped. Ah well...

[Rakeesh]

Damnit, why do I always notice these things too late? Oh well, already have three copies of vista anyways.

[stefan9]

yay :thumbdwn:

I wanted a free ultimate :(

[hokeyplyr48]

does anyone know if they will look for illegal activites?
like torrents(music,videos, random software)?

[Dragunov]

think so, they monitor all ur activities for three months

yeah, a pity it was only for US and not EU aswell

[hokeyplyr48]

hmm guess i won't be doing it then. what a shame

[Revs]

Don't think that'd be legal.

[LycosV]

Don't think that'd be legal.

If you download the monitoring software and agree to their terms, they can monitor whatever they want.

[Tr1cK]

I wouldn't be surprised if they snooped network drives.
